2170988 - Issue with People Pool for RBP Permission Group

Symptom

On selecting the drop down list for Division, department or Job Code foundation objects under Manage Permission Group -> People Pool, drop down list contains only few of Division, department or Job Code foundation objects.

However, we can select those values under Job Information, it will work but we will have to search manually.

As you can see only few of the values present under Division Foundation object that is the reason people pool ->Division is displaying the few values.

 

Resolution

When you select EP fields as a filter for your people pool, only the values that are persisted in the UDF (Employee Export) are returned.

This means that if you have a division that no one is assigned to in the UDF, it will not show up in the filter.

If you need to create groups on these missing options, you can either assign it to an employee in the UDF or create you people pool filter based on EC fields, this will show all divisions regardless of users being assigned to it, please bear in mind that EC fields when used as filters are effective dated unlike EP fields.
